347. _Weever and Fuller--their Autographs wanted._--Can any of your readers direct the etcher of a portrait of Weever, where to find his autograph, from which to make a copy to illustrate it? It is not to be found in the British Museum. The extreme paucity of information respecting this worthy is somewhat strange, considering the value of his contributions to literature. In our leading biographies and cyclopædias his name does not occur. By-the-bye, where was he buried, and what inscription is there on his "funeral monument?" An etched portrait is about to be published in the next part of the _Antiquarian Etching Club_, of Fuller, the author of _Worthies_, _Church History_, &c., without a copy of his signature for the same reason, unless one should be discovered. It has been suggested that search made in the library of Queen's College, Cambridge, might prove successful in both cases, from the fact of their having both belonged to that college. Perhaps some member of the university would kindly undertake the inquiry. A. E. C. 348. _Is the Badger Amphibious?_--Turner (_Sacred History of the World_, Letter XV. vol. i. p. 428. 4th edit. 1833) says: "The beaver, otter, and _badger_ are _amphibious_ creatures, but not oviparous." Surely this is a mistake, and worthy of a Note? I cannot find the badger mentioned as an _amphibious_ animal in any modern zoology. I certainly have not by me Kerr's _Linnæus_ to refer to, as a verification of Sharon Turner's note on this passage. CHARLES PASLAM. Minor Queries Answered. _Royal Registers._--I have nine volumes of a work published by Bew, Paternoster Row, and which appeared from 1778 to 1784, pretending to give sketches of the characters of public men by his Majesty. Can any of your correspondents inform me who was the writer, and what number of volumes were published? B. [This literary curiosity was completed in nine volumes, which are sometimes bound in three. In 1841 Mr. H. G. Bohn advertised a copy with all the names filled up in manuscript, the initials being no doubt sufficiently intelligible at that time. For a notion of the work on its first appearance, see the _Gentleman's Magazine_, vol. xlviii. p. 130.] _Paul Hoste._--Paul Hoste, a Jesuit, published early in the seventeenth century a small quarto with diagrams on "Breaking the Line," so much discussed, as being first done in Rodney's action. If any one can give me some account of Paul Hoste and his _scientific_ views on naval architecture, the information will be acceptable to ÆGROTUS.
